During this reading and conversation, members of dash(-)collective will activate the publication My Garden’s Boundaries Are the Horizon: A Porous Reader to Unguard the Garden by the collective To See the Inability To See by weaving their own narratives into those of the book/object, using various media. Some members will be present in the space, while others will join online from Isfahan, Iran.

dash(–) is an ecosystem that began its activity in 2023 in Isfahan, Iran, to experiment with a self-sustainable economy that utilises community resources. Each member of dash(-) is involved in other collectives within the Isfahan community. By connecting these collectives and engaging in trial-and-error, dash reimagine an economy that integrates art with life by drawing inspiration from local stories and actively participating in the local community. In this process instituting, educating, and collective care became dash‘s main activities.

About My Garden's Boundaries Are the Horizon
To See the Inability to See — a collective that formed at de Appel’s Archive in 2019 consisting of Arefeh Riahi, Martín La Roche Contreras and Maartje Fliervoet — developed a foldable multidirectional book/object called My Garden’s Boundaries Are the Horizon: A Porous Reader to Unguard the Garden. The publication has sculptural and performative qualities, stressing the relationship between bodies and books; provoking collectivity in writing, reading and thinking. The book/object has now unfolded into this exhibition — a repertoire of objects, gestures and events that expands its content into the space and in relation to other bodies, such as those of readers, visitors and artworks. This unfolding takes place on a flexible sculpture display that also holds a selection of works, weaving the publication, the artworks and the artefacts into an inter-related constellation of physical and spatial experiences.
